Summary
Eddie thinks about it for a minute. He really does, because he’s more clear-headed now than he was last night, so he thinks better of it for maybe thirty seconds. Remembers the inarguable fact that Buck has a boyfriend and that Eddie is – well. Learning some things about himself, maybe, but is very specifically not Buck’s boyfriend, so.
He shouldn’t. Right?
Except.
buck and eddie are not even approaching normal about each other; things escalate quickly (aka: the sexting fic, part 2)

Summary
“Okay,” Ava said. “Why… would sleeping in my booth solve that problem?”
I don’t know, Caspar thought. Because being near you feels like being pulled somewhere. Because I feel in motion around you. Because I’ve never felt more still than when I’m sitting next to you. Because something about your presence makes me feel at ease. Because you can fall asleep anywhere and maybe it’s contagious.
OR
Caspar can't sleep. Ava can. Maybe she can help.

Summary
“What are you doing here?” he asks his niece when she starts squirming back out of his embrace, carefully setting her down. He almost asks if she ran away from home, because he knows it would make her giggle, but thinks better of it. “Tea party? And I wasn't invited?”
“She's hanging out with her uncle Eddie today,” Eddie says, leaning back on his hands. He's smiling when he looks up at Buck, a real smile, and his whole face scrunches happily when Jee-Yun crashes into his side.
Buck feels like he needs to look away, but he has no idea how.
or: one toddler, two conversations, and so many missed opportunities for buck to act like a guy not in love with his best friend.

Summary
It feels new, and good, and not just because it’s been so damn long since anyone has touched Eddie like this. It’s just—it’s Buck. Of course this is something they know how to do together. They’ve done just about everything else two people can do together; maybe this was always inevitable.
-
Or: Eddie and Buck start sleeping together when they're all stuck at Buck's place during lockdown. It still takes them almost three years to notice that they're in love.

Summary
Hen sighs. “Something had to be said before you idiots put us in mortal peril.”
“I’d never do anything to jeopardize our safety on a job! You know that Hen.”
“Maybe not on purpose,” Chim chimes in, “but, see, the thing is, when you flirt with our Buck, his brain turns off. He just bluescreens.”
“You’re flustering the poor boy, Eddie,” Hen adds. “And it’s making him dumb.”
“-er,” Chim adds.
“Wha- Buck isn’t flustered.”
Eddie is flustered. His face feels hot. He takes another sip of his coffee to give his hands something do to, but that only makes him feel warmer. Shit.
Hen levels him with the most deadpan look. “Last week he walked into a stop sign after you called him ‘big boy’ on a call.”
Eddie nearly spits out his coffee.
Or: the one where Eddie subconsciously flirts with Buck without realizing and Buck is actively trying not to have a heart attack at work about it

Summary
Eddie is all fucking over him.
He falls asleep with his body sprawled over the broad expanse of Buck’s chest and wakes up with his face buried into the skin of his neck. They watch a movie together on Eddie’s couch and Eddie practically sits in his lap, head tucked under Buck’s chin as he blinks at the screen. When they’re alone, Eddie can’t stop himself from peppering kisses to Buck’s lips and his cheeks and his forehead as Buck giggles and pretends to try and duck. Under the dinner table every night, Eddie will hook his foot around Buck’s ankle and make Buck duck his head into a flushed smile. And Eddie is always, always holding Buck’s hand—running errands and in their own bed and at the grocery store and across the console while Buck’s driving them to work.
Maybe he’s just in the honeymoon stage. Or maybe this is how he’ll always feel—like every second he’s not touching Buck is a second wasted.
in which eddie is in love and a bit clingy about it.

Summary
“Good thing you're not the one sucking my dick then.” The words are conversational as they fall from Eddie’s lips, as if they aren’t crazy. As if the words you’re, sucking, and my dick aren’t making Bucks mind blank. He sips his beer and tries to be nonchalant.
“You think I couldn't make you moan?” Buck's tone is undeniably cocky, reflecting a feeling he's not sure if he's really feeling at the moment. Confidence summoning from god knows where. Buck thinks the part of his brain that is in love with Eddie just Does Shit and the rest of his brain just lets it happen.
“I know you couldn't, that's the whole topic of this conversation.” And it really goes to show just how truly gone Buck is on Eddie, because he can't help himself before he's uttering-
“Can I try?”

Summary
He’s not jealous. He’s not, because that would be ridiculous. Buck is still his best friend and he’s at the Diaz household at least five out of seven nights of the week. He is still a very permanent fixture of their lives, helping Christopher with his homework and making dinner for them and driving them around town in Eddie’s truck. Eddie has nothing to be jealous of.
Now if only Eddie’s brain could get with the program.

Or, after returning to the 118, Eddie becomes a full-time paramedic and Ravi becomes Buck's partner. Eddie absolutely doesn't feel anything about that, not at all.- Language:

Summary
“Which do you think makes you feel most loved?”
Eddie thought for a long moment. Too long, maybe. Then he shrugged, “Honestly, Buck? I have no idea.”
Buck’s brows pinched up. “What do you mean? When have you felt the most loved?”
“Don’t make a big thing of this, Buck. Promise?”
Buck made a show of crossing his heart, brows still raised curiously.
“I’m not sure I’ve ever… really felt loved in a relationship? I’m not convinced that I know what makes me feel loved…”
OR -
After finding out that Eddie doesn't know what his love language is, Buck sets about finding out for him. He begins a five week experiment, one for each love language, to figure out which will make Eddie feel the most loved.

Summary
"Too bad we can't just date each other."
Eddie laughs. "What?"
"No, I'm serious!" Buck sets his beer down, the better to gesture with both hands, face lighting up, and Eddie just—he really loves the guy, okay. Ridiculous as he is. "It would be so much easier! You wouldn't have to introduce a new person to Chris—he already likes me anyway—and you could tell Pepa so she'll stop setting you up on dates that don't go anywhere—"
"And what would you get out of this?" Eddie asks, grinning.

Or: Buck and Eddie try something out together.

Summary
It occurs to Mark that maybe he should be ashamed of the pathetic empty box of photos he calls a home, but he doesn't have the energy. Just being near Damien, just walking in silence, feels like a drain on his reserves. At least he knows better than to drink.
He's not sure why he thinks that's worth any points when they end up in his bed anyway, hardly ten minutes in the door.
(In other words: 20k words of Damien being a kicked puppy and Mark being spiteful, but horny.)

Summary
For a Prompt: Douglas or Martin convinces the other to kiss him in a public place. The other realizes this is their one opportunity to kiss the man they are in love with and puts everything they've got into it, knocking the other off their feet (metaphorically speaking). Eleventy-hundred bonus Internet points for followup Douglas/Martin sexytimes.
"Douglas is uncharacteristically nervous when he knocks on the door of the shabby little hotel room a few hours later. It’s ridiculous that he should be undone by such a man as Martin Crieff – little Martin, timid and hesitant and bearer of more bad luck and awkward circumstance than anyone Douglas had ever met in his life."

Patty watches it all happen through the living room window. She watches it when the cable’s out. She watches it when she smokes (and sometimes goes out to the porch to smoke just so she can watch it). Watch her. Allison Devine.
It's better than TV, she tells herself... until it starts feeling too real.

Summary
Patrick Brewer of all people sliding into his DM's is intriguing.
Because just two days ago, David stumbled across Patrick Brewer's Raya profile.
He remembers a single black-and-white photo of a clean-cut looking guy, wearing a baseball cap and laughing, his face turned away from the camera so it's seen mostly in profile. He had a great smile. David was struck by the way his eyes crinkled in the corners, by how genuine he looked.
PATRICK, 30

Summary
It's the summer of 1998. The battle is over, and Voldemort is dead, but Harry still has more questions than answers. Who is he without a piece of Voldemort's soul in his head? What is he supposed to do now?
His friends try to help, but the only thing that can hold his attention—one of the only things that ever has—is Draco Malfoy, out on parole and weirdly hanging around the British Museum.
As they keep running into each other, Harry sees that Malfoy is different, and he wonders if he can be someone else, too.
Featuring rumpled band shirts, poker games everyone hates, fumbling sex, and a Harry going a little mental over how wands even work.
Fic title from "Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve, which was released in 1998. Playlist to get in the late '90s mood.
